Considering that BluRay gunk stores 2048x1536 (?) sized videos, which my monitor is only 1280x800. Even if I could play it 100% no drops, it's still 4x my resolution in terms of area.

We had a court case 1 day before primaries, which I say on. Turns out, our 7'th (alternate) was someone I work with.. I work at Starbucks..
As to the point: they ruled out the Principal of a local school, and a few others. Aside from that, I was selected to be on the jury, and then as a foreman.
One thing I learned is that the general public does NOT like cops. Our case, we believe that the cop lied to protect another cop in a DUI case (they couldnt even prove he DROVE). There were no logs, the camera 'malfunctioned', the cop deposition didnt match with testimony in open court. Near the end, during deliberation, we took 5 minutes for a not guilty. And if we could have proved it, we would have sentenanced the 2 cops for perjury.. couldnt prove it.
And at the end, the judge asked if we would be willing to critique the lawyers in her chambers: We did, telling that we came up with the same questions during lunch as the defence lawyer did during closing statements. "We believed the cops lied and you have no case", is what we told them.
I did my vote, and it was a hell of a lot more important than November 4'th.. It freed a man.
You're assuming real-time transmission and after the fact jury contamination.
No, we record the trial in all its glory, and only after the verdict has been reached does the torrent start going. That may not solve the jury contamination, but if you care about the case, you're already "polluted".
My idea goes back to Leibniz's idea that we can apply a calculus to our language, and infer complex things such as trials.. we have large enough corpus of law. Why not start trying to infer logic and attempt to stay consistent with decisions already made?
Why is there such a disdain and avoidance to audio/visual recording and dissemination about court cases? Being in this day and age, we could have multiple angles, multiple audio streams, and court transcript, along with evidence log attached to each "case document". Torrents could easily disseminate these large files, allowing for a complete log and documentation where our laws and case law come from.
Machines NOT on the internet (or, completely firewalled off) do not need to be updated as religiously as machines getting direct exposure. Simple as that.
Secondly, if you're running Unix-like systems, you can directly see what is being changed and back it up specifically, using any assortment of services. If an update doesnt work, just delete/restore from backup. Simple.
On Windows, updates are inherently scary. Yes, there are single-issue updates, but they're a PITA do deal with in normal cases. And any update can potentially cause issues with your provided service. The only way to properly do a Windows update is to make a server with exact hardware/software and implement the update on that machine (and test with your testbed). Only then, after the updates show no side effects can you attempt to touch the production server.. and it still might screw up.
That's when you think about switching to a system that doesnt send updates in 200MB patches. I heard on the BSD's and Linux systems you can see whatc specific packages are going to be updated and control which ones do and dont.
1: He needs big fonts (ok, 1024x768, big fonts) 2: He uses a calendar program from 1994, made for Win95, which ignores all font directives from windows.

My whole problem with Obama and his 250K tax (or 200K, or 150K) is that he seems to indicate that he wants a very socialistic system of provision and government. It could work...
However, this country is split into 50 different states, each with different governments, and different localities. Good luck coordinating anything to any degree. It will be akin to the Veterans Hospitals: covered in red tape to access red tape to a doctor who cant see you because the time-date stamp on the first red tape expired.
Have you thought about a functional language , so that you could just add X computers with Y cores and Z memory? I'm still learning Erlang, but to a point I can write neat servers that auto scale and balance.
Once you run the interpreter on each machine (one could use Damn Small Linux as your backbone) and set the network key: on erlang, it is erlang:set_cookie(node(), password).
And it will push your code between so that things just work. As for the interpreted argument, look at Yaws, the Erlang web server. This convinced me.
'say they can hear LCD flat panel displays making a buzzing noise'
Yeah, I can hear that, and its not what you think. Its usually a transformer charging up or some other form of high-voltage circuit. When we used to have a 36 inch CRT tv, I could hear it on across the house and 2 floors away cause of that damned buzz. Now we have some widescreen (tube tv blew cause of brownout and wasnt surge protected) which I can only hear faintly in the next room..
The tubes also were lower frequency. The recent LCD's are more of a quick crackle and gone.. Perhaps its just too high for me to hear.
Simply put: The phone provider should also 'stiff' the upstream provider based upon fraudulent calls. Take a look at this list and tell me this bill isnt so loaded, assuming they paid non-plan minutes.
And there is the issue with the Voicemail machine being hacked to send calls.. Go after their throat, legally, and drain them for all they're worth.
People here hate conservatives and anarcho-capitalists and have a love towards all liberals. I just hijack threads that post even a shred of liberalism and obama-love and turn them on their side.
---Anyway, I want to be optimistic about the future. I actually think part of the optimism of TOS was related to the idealism that ran amok during the Kennedy period. Now I wonder if Obama can create such an atmosphere on the wreckage that Dubya is leaving behind? The wild oscillations of America's political system seem to be completely out of control these days...
A diatribe, if I may.
I know a lot of people, and I've read a lot of books. The people I know grew up in the 40's and 50's, and that's about it. I've met one holocaust victim only by sheer luck. My own grandma told me stories how hard it was during the Great Depression, but she didn't live in it. They were told to her by her parents. The same goes for nearly everything before the 40's.
My own parents grew up, rather poorly, in the 60's and 70's and missed out on that very idealism. They have their own stories to tell, ones of suffering and hardship, and of lack of money, and of lack of gas, and of much gone. They were offered welfare, food stamps, and all sorts of gimmees.. Though I guess they could have used them, but they felt it was a shame to take anything like that. What kind of a person are you to take "handouts" that are effectively theft from others in the forms of a 'tax'? My parents were somewhat unique in that regard: "Do it by your own hard work, and dont rely that others distand from you do it for you."...
Ive seen that work ethic and thought before. They come from books, magazines, and letters from the 20's and before. Many in those older times felt they had to do something to be worth their salt, even it that was hard labour or self sacrifice. To do nothing was pure laziness and evil. And even that idea, was that one had to better themselves, regardless the situation. Many did that by reading different works, and some wrote about their happenings. I still glance back, time to time, at the many letters I have in my possession discussing politics, history, happenings, mathematics, science, and general household happenings in the many scholastic readers, letters, newspapers, and magazines. There was a pride these people had, to know that what they represented was exactly that which they did by their own 2 hands.
I look around now: at work, on the radio, on the TV, the internet: and I see one thing. "Gimmee." I want this and NEEEED it now! Well, we do see this sort of thing more during Christmas, but we see this behaviour all year around. What can you do for me? What will you provide me? What will you give me? And we dont just see this pervasive "right now gimmee" attitude within just people, but whole groups of people like corporations, who expect us to bail them out for their incompetence. Where is the sense of shame and regret knowing that you failed? Instead, they line up, just like the ex-employees, at the gimmee-provider (also known as the unemployment off.. wait.. workforce development).
As for you idea that Obama might turn the tables on this air of self-deserving gimmee attitude. This is a man, who happens to be black, who thinks we white folk hold them down, and that we 'owe it to them'. Go read his wife's thesis from college, as that very idea is _the_ thesis. If he encourages anything, it will be that government is happy to help you, because you arent able yourself. That's the wrong thing to tell anybody. It is by hard work that one succeeds, and perhaps a bit of luck. It only serves to demean and degrade every time one takes those handouts.. Those companies sell a part of them for taking that poisoned money. How are you paying for it?
We only have to look in our past as to what marked the destruction of our morals. That would be called the New Deal. Obama thinks that it is good for us... It is too sad that those who remember before the 30's are by in large part dead or relegated to a wing in a nursing home.
Good luck. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on my T61 thinkpad right now. I only had 1 real problem, which was semi-unrelated to Linux.
When I would start up Linux, my right 2 USB ports failed to work. Ulp.. Didnt do that in Windows. I checked the message log for any errors, and it was bus errors up the wazoo. I checked out Thinkwiki and found it was a Bios bug, and not Linux.
After a firmware update (eep, I hate those), everything works 100% now.
Now, on a side note: if you're running Ubuntu on multiple machines, go ahead and set up XDMCP and PulseAudio programs. They will give you remote desktop and remote sound, as you get a pull-down list in which machine you want your sound to go to.. and it's all auto-detected.
It just means that voting for "majority rule" takes longer as we now vote greedys and corruption artists in our stead. And even as the ancient Greeks understood, a democracy fails (and likewise systems) when the people realize they can vote people in who say "I'll give YOU more".

Akin to that idea: so you think that regular memory handling should be done by the shell? That is the analogue to X handling graphic memory.
You dont think I wouldnt forget that?

Just load'er up, and cut a "deal" for 5K or so.

How is it not fraudulent behaviour to collect on services that amounted from theft?
